A few weeks ago Shelley noticed a little girl in her sons special needs class was a chewer. She could chew through a school uniform in no time flat! Noticing that she wasn’t wearing any chewy jewellery, Shelley bought one of our necklaces in the next day and gave it to the teacher for little […]

We love, love, love our beautiful traditional toy store Little Tots Treasures at Lawnton, so we need to tell you the big news. They have changed their name to Twigs Toy Boutique! You will still find them at the same location at Lawnton (700 Gympie Rd, Lawnton), and they still supply good old-fashioned products at a good […]

Made from our safe food grade silicone, the Keyrings come in a range of different designs. They can go on pencil cases, belt loops, prams, or anywhere else […]
